not her saying she won’t release her next album on vinyl 

I think this was more of a joke, because the vinyl production took so long.

I've gone back and forth on if the "lie la lie"s in IYLDWM are a reference to Simon & Garfunkel "The Boxer." I always think of it. I can't see a thematic connection between the songs, but it's such a well-known chorus, I'm sure she would've had it in mind.

I like to think so, since she's in her folk phase right now. And her work is full of such references that we may not have uncovered all yet.

the fact that cherry blossom is currently losing this poll is very disrespectful for me #Justice4CherryBlossom

A German radio station for young people is going to play it this evening. It's a bit surprising, but I like it.

In regards to what the 'one word' is, Lana said it was one that affected the rest of the album. I immediately thought it was "mother" (which she says on BBS).

The matriarchal theme has never been a present theme on any album of Lana's before, yet it underlies and informs many of the experiences she sings about on this record. Our familial upbringing – particularly our relationships with our parents – undoubtedly has the most impact on the way we move through the world. 

or "mommy" in cherry blossom. Right after the comment, she sang the song.

The live chat was cool, I had to watch the entire recorded version on honeymoon_archives this morning. She was so talkative and funny!

The trio is about how blue banisters is about three men

 

Sean first 3 songs

Clay next 6

Barrie the rest

 

Excluding wfwf and sweet carolina

and who is the "good", the "bad" and the "ugly"? Interesting, because the number 3 plays an important role in this album. Three women in the blue banisters video, three humans/pets on front and back cover, three singles dropped at the beginning ...

Does anyone else feel that the Nectar of The Gods kinda drags in the context of the album and it is probably the only song that may be left off the tracklist  

No way! It's about wildness like the song before, it's about the color blue like other songs, and from the instruments and the mood it fits very well.

we won

Does anyone think Lana will be there? Has she gone to her pop up shops in the past?

At least here she can be seen in the ice cream truck:

the jack lovers have been real quiet lately. hes a flop wannabe one-man band. too bad he wasted so much time n songs

I still think he did a good job. But his music is more pleasing to critics and not so much to fans. I'm on both sides.

for me the album have three parts: text book to interlude, bbs to wildflower and nectar to sweet caroline. despite i love bb, nectar and cherry blossom, the second part is really insane. best sequence ever

for me it is a bit more complex, in general four parts, but with transitions:

PART 1
1. Text Book
2. Blue Banisters
    3. Arcadia
    
4. Interlude

PART 2
5. Black Bathing Suit
6. If You Lie Down With Me
7. Beautiful
    8. Violet For Roses
    
PART 3
9. Dealer
10. Thunder
    11. Wildflower Wildfire
12. Nectar of the Gods

PART 4
13. Living Legend
14. Cherry Blossom
    15. Sweet Carolina

(By the way I found out, WW sounds better for me when played directly after IYLDWM)

Not sure if this was posted but a bunch of songs, maybe all, are official on YouTube now.  Mystified why they would do this on drop day.

I guess she did this also, so that reviewers can reference some unreleased songs.

Here's another real good review in german:

It shows how difficult it is to review this album because there are so many aspects to consider. But this review manages to do it, and I think it's very accurate.

26 songs within 7 months.  We fucking WON!!! 

actually 27 with Secret Life, and we get Riverside and a Cover album

The Spotify version was not as good as the leaked one at first, but I found out you can adjust it up to 320kbit/s in Premium:

Now it sounds better.

Now also #2 in India and #1 in Russia on iTunes:

a short soundcheck from my local radio station:

Quote

On Lana Del Rey's 8th album, the groundhog says hello: against a pompous, melancholy backdrop, she murmurs of painful longing, transfigured America and motorized means of transport - you know. But it's not all as usual: Jack Antonoff is no longer with the band after two albums together. He is not missed: "Blue Banisters" has what it takes to replace "Norman Fucking Rockwell!" as Del Rey's best record so far.

Tomorrow evening, the album will be reviewed in detail on their broadcast.

The song isn't as well known as it should be, so maybe she can push it that way.
